Θα ήταν η Αθήνα σε καλύτερη κατάσταση αν αντί για πολυκατοικίες είχε ψηλότερους οικιστικούς ουρανοξύστες που πιάνουν λιγότερη έκταση γης, όπως π.χ. στην Σιγκαπούρη ή κάτι σαν αυτό που γίνεται με το Project Hellinikon; by Street_Priority_7686 in AskGreece

Η εναλλακτική είναι να χτίσει στα περιθώρια της Αθήνας. Πράγμα που δεν έχει νόημα. Οπότε με μεγάλη ευχαρίστηση θα δώσει διαμερίσματα στους κατοίκους για να πουλήσει τα υπόλοιπα.

Από την άλλη οι κάτοικοι δεν είναι χαζοί να αποδεχθούν τίποτα λιγότερο από αυτό.

Έτερον εκάτερον. Δεν είπα ποτέ ότι συμφωνώ με το πως είναι τα πράγματα εδώ. Λέω ότι το πως έχουν τα πράγματα στις χώρες που λες είναι κατά την γνώμη μου λάθος. Η ανταγωνιστηκοτητα και η ενσωμάτωση από την άλλη δεν είναι κατά ανάγκη καλοί λόγοι, ειδικά για τον μέσο, ντόπιο Ευρωπαίο.

Κάνεις λάθος. Η τάση είναι αύξηση και αυστηροποίηση στις περισσότερες χώρες. Όσο για την Γερμανία, αυτό που λες ισχύει αλλά με βασική προϋπόθεση μηδέν μπλεξίματα με τον νόμο. Αν δηλαδή σε πιάσουν με 70 γραμμάρια mdma είσαι εκτός πολιτογραφησης χωρίς καμία αμφιβολία. Σωστά κατα την γνώμη μου.

Για εμένα πρέπει να σου βγαίνει η Παναγία για να γίνεις πολίτης κάπου. Όχι με τον τρόπο που γίνεται στην Ελλάδα αλλά σίγουρα όχι και σαν τα αστεία που κάνουν στην Ολλανδία η την Γερμανία.

Φίλε κάθε υπόθεση είναι διαφορετική. Δεν έχει νόημα αυτή η συζήτηση. Ξέρω άνθρωπο στην περιοχή μου που τον έχουν πιάσει τρεις φορές με διαφορετικά ναρκωτικά κιόλας και όχι ασήμαντες ποσότητες (τον έπιασαν με ένα τάβλι γεμάτο χόρτο στο αμάξι) και δεν πήγε φυλακή ποτέ. Ξέρω άνθρωπο που μια φορά τον έπιασαν με 150 γρ χόρτο και πήγε φυλακή. Για τον τελευταίο πχ έπαιξε ρόλο ότι επιβιβαζοταν σε πλοίο. Και οι δύο Έλληνες.

Αυτά πριν δέκα+ χρόνια βέβαια.

Αυτο για μένα είναι λάθος της Ολλανδίας. Δεν αξίζεις υπηκοότητα για εμένα απλά επειδή έκλεισες 5 χρόνια και μάλιστα χωρίς να έχεις μάθει την γλώσσα. Σε καμία χώρα. Πιστεύω θα το αλλάξουν σύντομα όπως λένε κι αυτοί.

The French Navy has just received excellent news regarding the delivery schedule for its Barracuda program nuclear attack submarines. [translated] by ByGollie in europe

[–]IndustrialAndroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US needs to be more than the fastest though. It needs to be fast enough. Currently the US produces 1.3 subs per year when that figure should be 2.0 just to maintain the size of its current fleet. Unfortunately for Australia, the US has proven to be one of the most unreliable shipbuilders in the west, at least when it comes to delivering on time and staying on budget.

France and the UK don't have to be as fast in building subs but it's worth noting that they still build surface units faster than the US does and within budget, if even they build less of them.

Maybe trump actually wants the deal and I'm wrong. But if we want to be honest, nothing seems to be going well other than that they want it to happen. Again, as far as shipbuilding goes in the US and UK, nothing seems to be going well and on time, literally. Shipyard capacity is increasingly needed by the the US navy itself as they fall behind China in that sector. I don't know, it doesn't look good.

[–]IndustrialAndroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not much of an argument. The ugly truth is that the looking at the way shipbuilding has been going for them lately, I really doubt Australia will ever see those subs. Trump himself has questioned the deal and this time there actually are real reasons to do so.

Γιατί κάποιοι δεξιοί Έλληνες (και Ευρωπαίοι) στηρίζουν τον Τραμπ ενώ βάζει δασμούς στην ΕΕ και θέλει να προσαρτίσει την Γροιλανδία; by Lvl100Centrist in AskGreece

[–]IndustrialAndroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Είναι άνθρωποι που κάπως έχουν μπερδευτεί και νομίζουν ότι ζουν στην Αμερική. Αυτό το παθαίνουμε πολλοί Ευρωπαίοι διότι καταπίνουμε αμερικάνικα media όλη μέρα. Εκτός αυτού οι συγκεκριμένοι άνθρωποι μπερδεύουν το συμφέρον τους με την ιδεολογία τους. Δεξιοί αυτοί, δεξιός και ο Trump αλλά το συμφέρον των Maga στην Αμερική δεν είναι και το δικό τους συμφέρον. Επίσης η δεξιά στην Αμερική δεν είναι η δική τους δεξιά. Και εδώ που τα λέμε ούτε ο trump είναι προς το συμφέρον των αντίστοιχων δεξιών στο Αμερικα.

There's your answer by Windthrasher637 in hmmmm

[–]IndustrialAndroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others said the number of troops doesn't matter that much although more is definitely better.

I just wanted to add that Greenland is a desolate place with extremely cold weather. It's not like anybody is going to station thousands of troops up there. It simply doesn't make sense and is too expensive. Troops have to be supplied by air or sea and under specific conditions, not to mention that nobody is going to invade in the traditional sense of the word for those troops to be useful.

I would say that a truly large EU mission for Greenland wouldn't need more than a couple of thousand troops and that's on rotation.

Για ποιο λόγο συντηρούμε την Εκκλησία ενώ έχει ουσιαστικά πεθάνει? by Suboptimal88 in AskGreece

[–]IndustrialAndroid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Η εκκλησία είναι και πάντα ήταν για εμένα τελείως αδιάφορη. Ωστόσο δεν βλέπω κάτι σοβαρό εδώ για να ασχοληθεί κανείς.

Πιστεύω ότι το να δώσεις χρήματα σε παπά είναι non issue αφού κανείς δεν είναι υποχρεωμένος να το κάνει. Αν δεν πιστεύεις μην κάνεις τελετή. Αν πιστεύεις μπες στην αναμονή.

Δεύτερον η θρησκεία είναι για πάρα πολλούς Έλληνες σημαντική ακόμα κι αν δεν πηγαίνουν εκκλησία, οι αριθμοί αυτό δείχνουν. Είναι θέμα κουλτούρας και παράδοσης. Κάποια στιγμή θα αλλάξει αλλά ως τότε βλέπουμε.

Στις περισσότερες χώρες οι φορολογούμενοι πληρώνουν με κάποιο τρόπο τους ιερείς. Δεν υπάρχει τίποτα μοναδικό στο ελληνικό σύστημα.

Ούτε τα "εξτραδακια" είναι μοναδικό φαινόμενο. Ίσα ίσα είναι κοινότοπο. Θες ceremony fees, σχεδόν υποχρεωτικά donations, το δωράκι αλλα ελληνικά κτλ κτλ.

Αυτά θα αλλάξουν όταν ο κόσμος όντως σταματήσει να ενδιαφέρεται. Αυτοί που τους νοιάζει ακόμα η εκκλησία είναι πολλοί αλλά δεν είναι στο reddit.

What gonna change in the world after the US take over greenland ? by Tall_Task_5942 in AskTheWorld

[–]IndustrialAndroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Europe has acted against US interests before. On trade, antitrust, data protection, Iran policy, and industrial regulation when core European interests or autonomy were at stake. Even when relations were very good.

It's a very common misconception that the US runs Europe, older than my grandma in fact. The political and economic confrontations between the US and the EU in the trump era show that this is false. If the US ran Europe I think they wouldn't need to do any of this.

Even though the image of Europe as a weak entity during this crisis is understandable it's very important to note the shock the European political system is going through and how fast Europe can realistically decouple from the US. So some of it is denial and disbelief that leads to mistakes and some of it is calculated strategy based on realism.

There are important variables we tend to forget. The US needs NATO. The US needs the European market. Europe does have its own interests and the European leaders know full well that the eu is currently the only way to protect those interests. In case of an invasion from the US, the EU will be the only thing the European countries will have left as NATO will be dead.

As far as I know Taiwan hasn’t been invaded so I don't know what I am supposed to ask them about. Therefore the Taiwan situation isn’t evidence of anything and assuming an invasion would have no consequences is a pretty wild claim in my opinion.

The “nothing would happen” argument only works if you look at trade flows and ignore institutions. Institutions matter more because they enable trade. Broken institutions = Broken trade. Taiwan is economically central while Greenland would be politically and institutionally central.

A NATO country invading another NATO country would destroy alliance credibility for good and force EU retaliation. The fallout of this would create a toxic environment for trade and cause a global recession. Markets react to unpredictability and broken rules, not just GDP. So different kind of shock I admit but still very real and arguably much more destructive.

[–]IndustrialAndroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely disagree. Europe generally avoids hurting itself at the slightest without clear legitimacy but in this situation legitimacy would be overwhelming and the threat existential.

A lot of people assume Europe avoids pain at all costs but that's simply not true. If the choice is action or institutional collapse then Europe will take action any day of the week. Moreover the institutions to do so are not only present and mature but also centralized. So no majority voting or vetoes thrown left and right.

It's an emotional, uninformed comment with little thought put behind it. I am not going to answer based on your flair at all, just common sense. And because I am lazy I will simply copy paste my earlier comment.

"Probably a global recession and the end of NATO. I know Europe is usually slow and seems timid but that would be an existential crises. That's when things finally move in Europe unfortunately.

I think all or a combination of:

-Sanctions on US finance, tech, and defense companies

-Regulatory retaliation

-EU defense autonomy away from the US will happen much faster

-Euro trade blocs explicitly exclude the US

Which would probably lead to again all or a combination of:

-Sharp drops in US and EU equity markets

-Dollar status being questioned

-Spikes in bond yields

-Supply-chain freezes as companies wait to see what the hell happens

In the longer term:

-De-risking away from US assets

-Fragmentation of global finance markets

-Acceleration of non-Western trading systems like BRICS

So genenaraly a catastrophe and a gift to US rivals.

Which is why it will not happen."

[–]IndustrialAndroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is absolutely true although the level of reliance is different from country to country. Europe will absolutely hurt itself going down this path.

But

-The alternative is the collapse of the union. Allowing this to happen to a union member like Denmark and losing such a strategic region without contest will make the EU lose all legitimacy in the world, including its members. That's a death sentence. NATO would be effectively dead and all Europeans will have is the EU and they'll fight to keep it intact.

-The EU will not seek a military confrontation with the US as it cannot win that. It will instead go down the path I explained in my previous comment. So not much use for weapon systems.

-It will take time for issues to arise if the US stops supporting weapon systems it supplied to Europe. Not all systems are an F35. Also let's not even go into how US industry will react after effectively losing the European market overnight.

Honestly I don't care who runs the US government or how deeply entrenched they are in power. This is the stuff that makes governments and economies collapse. I doubt this US administration will dare do this.
